the big unresolved issue is revenue. pretty much any neutral observer says the only way to get significant debt reduction is through tax reform to make sure the wealthiest americans through elimination of deductions and loopholes participate. in the short term in the next book we are not going to do entitlement or tax reform. the question is, either of them would reduce spending significantly. good down payment on the deficit. are we going to have this debt ceiling hanging over us five, six months from now? >> greta: let me ask you about the tax code reform. the simpson-bowles commission said 3300 tax hoop locals, earmarks in the tax code -- loopholes earmarks in the tax code. it didn't get passed over to congress. the president could have adopted that. why didn't the president seize upon that and said let's get rid of those 3300?
